A twelve million-bale cotton crop is something immense, to be sure; but, in view of the fact that we have not yet caught up with the effects of several successive short crops, it is hardly reasonable to expect that the price of the staple will continue on its downward way. We print a note of encouragement from the Wilmington Messenger, which does not believe the farmers ought to allow themselves to take fright at the prospect. To the same effect is an editorial in the Augusta Chronicle. Our Georgia contemporary leans to the opinion that the government esti mate’has overshot the mark; but. even if the forecast proves to be within the actual figures, it holds that the slump of fifty points upon receipt of the agricultural depart ment’s report is not warranted by the size of the crop or tlie condi tion of the trade. Speculators, it says, “have undoubtedly seized this opportunity to exert a strong bear influence, but their grip on the market will be temporary and of no great effect on the real value of the south’s great staple.” It believes that the low price of the last few days cannot be maintained, and that as the season advances the cotton now in the hands of s uithern holders will fetch a great deal more money than it would at present prices. The American Cotton Manufac- turer, a publication of high author ity in crop and trade matters, takes a hopeful view of the situation, even on the basis of a twelve million-bale crop. All our exchanges that have referred to the matter agree that the southern planters were never in a better situation to play a wait ing game with the market than they are at present. As the Char lotte Observer remarks, they have not put all their eggs in one bas ket, a practice that the Morning Post has labored early and late to discourage. Such seems to have been the case quite generally, so it is not at all uucommon to find small farmers in the country with two or three bales of cotton on baud and no immediate necessitV for selling it. Farmers are gener ally agreed that ten cents a pound is a fair price, but they may not realize that much for this year’s crop. Still, if they can afford to hold their cotton and will wait for a rise, they will make enough by the operation to compensate them for the delay,—Raieigh, N, C. Post. A Valuable Calendar.

THE GOOD OLD WAY. A severe cold orattack of la grippe is like a fire, the sooner you combat it the better your chances are to over power it. But few mothers in this age are willing to do the necessary work required to give a good old fashioned reliable treatment such as would be administered by their grandmothers, backed by Boschee’s German Syurp, which was always liberally used in connection with the home treatment of colds and is still in greater household favor than any known remedy. But even withou: the application of the old-fashioned aids German Syrup will ewea severe cold in quick time. It will cure colds in children or grown jieople. It re lieves the congested organs, allays the irritation, and effectively stops the cough. Any child will take it. It is invaluable in a household of children.
